專家說明
This bowl is identical in decoration to the service produced for Czarina Catherine The Great of Russia, commissioned in 1766 for her hunting lodge in Tsarskoje Selo, near St. Petersburg. The service was completed by June 1768, and pieces from it bear punkt crossed swords marks, which the present lot does not. However, the identical decoration suggests that this bowl is unliklely to be a precursor; it is much more probable that an undecorated bowl pre-dating 1765 was requisitioned for the service as there was very little time to complete the commission. For other pieces of the service, see U. Pietsch et al., Porzellan Parforce, Jagdliches Meißner Porzellan des 18. Jahrhunderts (Munich, 2005), pp. 116-122.
